1.0 out of 5 stars Loathsome lyrics, alone, don't "Death Metal" make., June 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Holocausto De La Morte (Audio CD)

I picked up this album mainly because I was curious about what kind of guitar player Pantera's Phil Anselmo, aka Anton Crowley, has become. His playing on this album is pretty much, "Heavy Metal Guitar 101," so the fast riffing and soloing normally associated with Death Metal are absent from this album. What Phil/Anton's guitar playing lacks in speed and agility, they've tried to make up for in squeaky feedback which, with the overly-trebly recording, adds more annoyance than menace to the songs. The guitar playing falls way short of the "chainsaw dismemberment," ominously promised in the ghastly liner notes. The riffing on this album will remind listeners way more of Black Sabbath re-tread than Cannibal Corpse or Morbid Angel (most of the riffing is more slow and "doomy" than is normally associated with real "Death Metal," and when Phil/Anton does try to play faster, he's not doing much with his fret hand).

If Phil is capable of better shredding, perhaps he was not really given the opportunity to do so because the "music" mainly appears to be a showcase for the comically grotesque lyrics and fiendishly ghoulish gurgle of bloodthirsty "lead vomiter," "Killjoy." "Killjoy" had a much better band than this on the cult classic, "Season of the Dead," which had some genuine shredding on it, back in the formative days of Death metal (1987) - but gore movie buff, "Killjoy," had a more grisly agenda than the rest of that band, and the result is this misbegotten would-be "end all masterpiece" (as the record label's marketing hype proclaims).

The production on this album isn't very good, either. The sound is rather thin and trebly, lacking the weight that might have given the album a little more impact to make up for the lack of instrumental agility (this is what the reviewer who felt it could be heavier may have been trying to say). If you're into comic book horror and grade B gore flicks, and aren't really looking for this to be a genuine "Death Metal" album, you might like this, otherwise you will probably be disappointed. Death/Thrash Metal fans: "Season of the Dead," has been re-issued on CD - it's pretty derivative of other '80's Thrash/Death but look for it anyway, it's worth picking up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gore Metal lives, dead and undead, September 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Holocausto De La Morte (Audio CD)

Where do I begin......Necrophagia IS the definers of gore-metal.The band started back in 1987 as a death-metal band and recorded their ONLY album "Seasons of the Dead", with became an underground cult phenomenonm.After the album,the band's vocalist Killjoy wanted to continue making such albums, but the rest of the band wanted to do a more non death metal type of thing Killjoys breaks up with the band and nothing is heard of them since.Cut to 1998 when Seasons of the Dead is remastered and a rabid necrophagia fan...Phil Anselmo from Pantera catches up with killjoy and makes "Holocausta de La Morte".Killjoy's vocals sound like his throat is filled with black blood and cant seem to cough it up and make a really messy scene.What can I say..................Necrophagia Rules
